Police seized crack cocaine, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, weapons and cash after arresting two men on Primrose Street in Dartmouth on Wednesday night.

Officers from a quick response unit saw suspicious activity on the block and ended up arresting two men at about 7:45 p.m., Halifax Regional Police said in a news release Thursday.
